Break In Period

Recommended Posts

Dennis, I would ask you this personnally but I think everyone would benefit from the answer. I probably should have asked this before my first cook although I did not go above 300 deg. but I thought I remember you saying that since you kiln dry all your grills that there is no low temp. break-in period. Is this true? If not what is recommended? Thanks.

Break-in period...

I've already removed 2 gallons...about a gallon from both the top and bottom in the vacuum kiln before tiling. Water is applied to the surface to get best adhesion for the thin-set/mortar. Then the grout is applied.

Some moisture is still inside. I'd set a cap between 350-400º for the first two cooks so to guarantee no venting of moisture.

I'm probably worrying about something that could not happen... The last thing I want is trapped moisture causing an exit hole that later would be an entry hole for moisture..

Just my 2¢
